I'm amazed that no one has made the point that this list's "welcome
letter" explicitly says the list is "rated" G/PG. Also, many of the
subscribers are young (15 seems to be a popular age here). That equates
to sending adult materials to minors!!!

I already complained to hotmail, but that probably won't do anything to
prevent him from doing similar things elsewhere.

You gotta hate when peopel think that just cause they like something,
that everyone else will want it. Unbelevably inapropriate!
